I loaded .243 Win for a while. For some damned reason I could never get a consistently good shooting load, and I went through five or six rifles before theowing in the towel. The 6mm-284 dialed right in and 6mm AR was no problem. I think .243 just doesn't like me and I don't like it back. Weird.

I'm gonna shrink that list before too long.

Were you using the same brass and/or dies? Could there have been an undiagnosed bad runout problem?

Always the same die set, but I think I was checking for runout...but then again I don't actually remember checking it. I had a tool to do it and I can't imagine not looking for a runout problem. The last .243 I loaded was 11 years ago.

I tried bullets from Sierra, Hornady, and Nosler in weights from 55 grains to 100 grains. Powders tried were Hunter, H4350, H4831, Re17, and Magnum. I'd see something promising now and then but never found it repeatable.

I'm sure I was the problem, but I never figured out where I was screwing up. I quit thinking about it when I got a rifle in 6mm Rem and one in 6mm-284 fell in my lap and they both proved easy to load. I've been tempted a time or two since then to buy a rifle out of the classifieds here and give it another whirl, but at this point in life I see no point...just another one of those mysteries I don't worry about anymore.

All of the major military cartridges of the Boer War, Sugar War, WW1 and WW2, the top 9 of black powder XX-XX, two wildcats, the .44-77 Flint Barely Improved and the famous 8mm-.310 Greener Flint Improved. 2 commercial cartridge Johnny Come Lately's....22 Hornet and .270 , and a small number of pre 1900 handgun cartridges.

Some of these rifle cartridges I load for my SIL or BIL.

Probably need to thin the ranks a bit. I only really use 6-8 rifles anymore.

Finally got in the game about three years ago just before component availability went sideways. I managed to put up a basic inventory but have been taking the process slow so as to get the most out of what I have, not a lot of “unnecessary” tinkering so to speak.

Have only actually loaded for;

.22-250 Rem
.243 Win (two rifles)
.270 Win (two rifles)

Have dies, but haven’t loaded for yet;

.222 Rem (18 year old son’s rifle)
7mm-08 Rem (same son)
.308 Win (FiL’s rifle, he gave me a pile of components he had purchased, a good friend of his used to load for him.)

Have a 1895G .45/70 but don’t have dies yet.

Nothing wrong with those numbers. Growing up we frequently hit the prairie dog towns. My only varmint rifle was a 30-06. It worked great. Still have a couple boxes of 110 hornady's hanging around for those. But then again I've been in the middle of a big dog town with a 35 Whelen once too. Tosses dogs about twice as far.
